Story
Meet Taro 🤍 **Adoption Fee has been Waved** Taro is the ultimate frat-boy cat: confident, chatty, and absolutely knows he’s a total catch. This all-white charmer will keep you entertained with his constant commentary — he’s always ready to hold a full-on conversation about your day, his day, or, let’s be honest, how awesome he is. Underneath all that swagger, Taro is a total sweetheart. He loves attention, cuddles, and being part of the action. He’ll happily hang by your side, offer comforting “bro talks,” or just supervise your every move with that classic cool-cat gaze. Taro does have a fish allergy, so he’ll need a special diet, but he doesn’t let that slow down his zest for life. He’s looking for a loving friend who can appreciate his chatty personality, celebrate his good looks, and return his big heart full of love and loyalty. He’s looking for someone who can appreciate his charm, laugh at his antics, and maybe even stroke his ego a little (okay… a lot). If you’re ready to meet a confident, hilarious, and ridiculously sweet frat-boy cat, Taro is waiting to move in and make every day feel like a party. 🐾✨

Meet Pepper 🖤 Pepper is a beautiful all-black cat with a mysterious, watchful charm. She’s a little shy at first, but with patience and gentle love, she will blossom into a loyal and loving companion.

She’s a true bush kitty — she loves finding cozy hiding spots and quietly observing everything around her. A home with plenty of nooks, hiding places, and safe corners is her dream come true. Once she feels safe, Pepper will reward you with quiet affection, soft purrs, and a special bond that comes from earning her trust. If you’re looking for a thoughtful and observant friend who would love nothing more then to listen to you talk about your day, then Pepper could be the perfect addition to your family. 🌿
